'You haven't written to me yet, so I know that you are probably still angry with me. I'm sorry Christopher. But I still love you. I hope you don't stay angry with me forever. And I'd love it if you were able to write me a letter (but remember to send it to the new address!).'

"The goodness of the approximation is measured by a well known function (see, for example, Kullback[12]); if P(x) and Pa(x) are two discrete probability distributions then that is a measure of the extent to which Pa(x) approximates P(x)."
